Story Behind The Song

I play cover songs for a living. This is for TAXI purposes.

Lyrics

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell; Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rain?
A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade... your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange... a walk-on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We?re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl...
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found? The same old fears
Wish you were here
